Sheesh, Obama is ruining their precious whiteboards in a school with limited resources! Since they'll never erase the president's autograph, now they'll have to pay for a new whiteboard. So inconsiderate.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf633b6bb3f7f770000004TheRexicanMon, 17 Dec 2012 13:23:55 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf633b6bb3f7f770000004
Some wonder why the president would travel to the site of a horrific tragedy to console the families and community members. What can one man do after all? He may be the president but he cannot really help, right?
There is a role here though. This is not a local matter. The violence in Newtown is something we all share concern about in our own towns and cities. A leader sometimes steps up and addresses the feelings of the people in order to make those affected feel the power of the nations 300 million who are also mourning. This was not a cheap shot at laying a policy framework in the midst of tragedy. The word gun was not uttered even once.
Our nation is sick. We are suffering the wrath of violence as a result of taking ideology too far and sacrificing common sense in the process. While the right to keep and bear arms is a certainty, limits that protect against the most horrific outcomes is sensible. The slippery slope is not the passage of reasonable restriction on mass death devices, it is preventing any reasonable response that has proven slippery. The NRA has framed the argument well for their purposes but the results have failed us all.
We cannot protect our children if we do not stop the sale of high volume clips and assault weapons. The president's speech was an appropriate time to say the obvious and politically dangerous thing that needs to be said. We are failing our children by allowing the NRA frame to guide our national conversation. Without saying those things the president artfully conveyed these ideas to all who were paying attention.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf57a569bedd7e03000001really???Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:34:29 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf57a569bedd7e03000001

What does that have to do with anything? He is consoling the grieving in a way he knows how. And to a Christian nation, being in someone else's "prayers" would be consoling. If you aren't religious, then he still said "in our thoughts".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf369cecad040f2d000020ELiTMon, 17 Dec 2012 10:13:32 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cf369cecad040f2d000020
